Hey everyone!

 

We all reminisce about it at some point or another...

 

It was only at the weekend that I was stood in Asda discussing how the size of Twister and Fab ice lollies have shrunk...

 

How 'Starburst' are really Opal fruits...

 

My partner buying Matey bubble bath...

 

How I have a Sega and Commando hidden away in the attic...

 

Apparently Monopoly hasn't put jail on the latest version...

 

I'm wondering what happened to Cadbury's secret bar...

 

I'm trying to find an old bubble bath what looked like a tub of gel with a shark in it...
